Be good, my dear pet, while I am away

Remember—no short shorts, and don’t show your shoulder

But don’t you know? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Your hair is too curly, my beautiful / the frizz

sticks up like antlers / use a flat iron, my

little love / you will be beautiful

with hair like sticks.

Your skin is imperfect, my dear / your features

should be unfeatured / revive yourself with

makeup, little one / one a new face

will make you beautiful. 

Your clothes are drab, my sweet / your style

is extinct / you have no worth if 

your wardrobe is old / only new clothes

will make you beautiful. 

You’re alone in this world, my darling / you are

not worthy of anything else / no one

can love you if you are not beautiful / be

beautiful, my pet, be beautiful.

Be beautiful, my pet, be beautiful. 

Be better, my pet, be better.

Be better, I say. 

Be better.
